I’d swap Andygirl, since that’s my name on my other forums. ---

I just like the mental image **Uncle Beer**. Also there was a poster who got banned 5 seconds after he made his debut, but his moniker was a line from The Big Lebowski that always made me chuckle: **Shut the Fuck Up Donny**. ---

Yeah, **Shut the Fuck Up Donny** made me laugh. Shame the kid wasn’t really pleasant. ---

That’s what my grandpa used to call all of us grandkids, indiscriminately. I opened this thread for the first time JUST to choose that name. Now I’m all bummed 'cuz TWO people beat me to it. ---

Given the way my life is going (less and less solar-powered-house stuff, more and more drawing and artwork), **Cartooniverse** is becoming more and more appropriate as a username for me. Pity the _real_ Cartooniverse wouldn’t wan’t to swap for **Sunspace**. Though I have hought of asking the admins to change my name to something else. ---

Gee, I _like_ being a lil ol’ witch derived from a late 16th century play. [innocent eyes] But if I had to swap, I’d say I really like **silentgoldfish and Payne N. Diaz**. They’re such cute names that make me giggle. 🙂 ---

I like **DrMatrix** , too. However, despite what I said before, I don’t think I would trade. **IThinkNot** just has this ring to it, and a story. I use it all the time at school. It’s like a trademark. 🙂 ---

Several that I really like, and always chuckled at: **Hugh Jass** , (no offence intended at all **Hugh** , but I now always think of that mother in law commercial that debuted on Superbowl Sunday where you can hear her leather pants stretch when she bends over… just kills me) **Beelzebubba** (I think of satan with a clown nose) **Qwisp** (Has the same effect on me as \*\* Judith Prietht\*\*) **Miss Creant** (I love the connotation) **universe.zip** (Very clever. Sort of a compressed way of saying ‘black hole’, ‘astronomy’ and ‘quantum physics’ at the same time.) But, I’m okay with my name. _reassuring myself_ ---

I have no desire to change, but I love **Shirley Ujest** ’s name - it always makes me laugh. 🙂 ---

I considered changing mine to **Baron Von Chickenpants** or **Phony McRingRing** , but I’m too fond of my Location and didn’t want to double-up on Simpsons trivia. On the SDMB, I always liked the names **mangetout** , **Tars Tarkas** and **John Carter of Mars**. ---
